Dinner had been prepared in the back kitchen, and they were waiting for Jing Gao to come over. Li Wei, with his head bare and smiling, pushed the dining cart in, set the plate, and asked: "Mr. Jing, what would you like to drink?"
If you ask a girl to have dinner normally, and if you are nearly an hour late for dinner, you have to change the wine.
Smelling the aroma of the dishes, Jing Gao suddenly felt a little hungry. It was fun to play poker with Su Jin and He Fangfei, the best sisters, but they were doing physical work. He looked at Xie Shutong, who was sitting across the dining table.
, asked: "Shu Tong, drink some red wine?"
Xie Shutong's white dress is short-sleeved, and her arms are fair and soft, not fat or thin, and very well-proportioned and beautiful. She is sitting at the table, holding a teacup in both hands, drinking warm tea.
I wanted to say: "Brother Jing, didn't you just say that you would punish yourself with three drinks? Serve with white wine."
After thinking about it, he restrained his complaints and grievances and said, "Brother Jing, what dishes are you going to treat me to today? Different dishes have different combinations."
Jing Gao shook his head inwardly. Shutong still had some objections to him. However, he asked Shutong to have dinner and ended up being an hour late for some reason. It was normal for Shutong to have objections. "Shutong, what I'm treating you to tonight is...
Beijing cuisine. But I can’t drink enough lately, so let’s not drink white wine, but some red wine?”
Shutong is an authentic Beijing native and has lived in Sijiucheng for four lifetimes. When inviting her to dinner, of course she will eat Beijing cuisine.
Xie Shutong agreed casually: "Okay, you have the final say."
Jing Gao turned around and ordered Li Wei, who was standing next to him as a waiter: "Li Wei, bring over the bottles of 1990 Romanee-Conti that were left in the Blue Lake Club."
Li Wei wore a bald head and said with a smile: "Okay, Mr. Jing." He turned around and left the banquet hall, and went to the second underground floor to get the red wine in person. He was very familiar with the wine in the constant-temperature wine cellar below the Blue Lake Club.
clearly.
Xie Shutong: ""
Ever since her father (Xie Wangzhen) took charge of the Xia Shang Real Estate business under Brother Jing, the changes in her family have taken a huge leap. Her father's assets have risen several levels and he has become a billionaire. Her brother's pocket money
It increased from 1 million per year to 8 million per year. Her pocket money also increased to 10 million per year. Although she usually doesn’t have much money to spend, and her salary, bonus, and stock dividends at Phoenix Film and Television are enough to cover her annual income.
overhead.
The senior executives under Brother Jing are really generous. Her father’s rank within the group is P11. The real estate market has been pretty good in the past two years, and Xia Shang Group has benefited from the good news that the "Northern Metropolis" is about to be developed.
, the current market value has reached 247 billion Hong Kong dollars.
It has surpassed Country Garden and is second to Evergrande, which has been in the spotlight in recent years. There are only three big brothers in the real estate industry left in the front: Vanke, Sun Hung Kai, and China Overseas Land & Development (affiliated to China Construction Group). Others such as Sunac,
Longfor, Poly Real Estate, China Resources, Cheung Kong, R&F, Henderson and Hang Lung are all behind.
Therefore, her dad’s annual salary is 8 million + year-end bonus of 4 million + stock incentives worth 8 million. And her dad’s income also includes stock dividends.
The stocks that have been exercised over the years, plus the stocks held when Xia Commercial Real Estate was established, are placed in the partnership of the executives. According to the tax law, only 20% of the personal income tax is required.
As the chairman and CEO of Xia Shang Real Estate, her father holds the largest number of stocks among senior executives. The annual dividends exceed 100 million. According to her mother, in 2017, when the real estate boom was good,
The Xia Shang Real Estate executives’ partnership dividends totaled about 1.6 billion yuan after tax, and her father received about 300 million yuan.
Her family gave her an allowance of 10 million yuan every year, but she was still worried. Although she had no shortage of money to spend when she was studying at China National Theater Academy, her parents still doted on her and gave her more pocket money than her brother Xie An.
But when it suddenly reached such a high level, she was still very scared. So she specifically asked her mother.
Therefore, her current knowledge is not bad. A bottle of Romanée-Conti dry red wine in 1990 is estimated to cost more than one million.
Brother Jing invited her to drink such expensive red wine, naturally because he was apologetic about it. Because red wine is just for drinking as table wine, the price is about the same. You can choose according to your own strength. A bottle can range from dozens to hundreds to one or two.
A bottle is fine, but there is really no need to be so extravagant. This is the standard for entertaining distinguished guests, not friends.
Brother Jing, to apologize to someone, you don’t just have to use material things, but more importantly, you have to show your heart. Have you used the same tactics in the business world on me?
According to Xie Shutong's past style, she would definitely complain about Jing Gao. But now she can only be speechless. The emotional venting just now made the distance between the two a bit distant.
Jing Gao smiled, picked up his chopsticks, and made a gesture, "Shu Tong, let's eat first. We'll drink some wine later. Try this Kung Pao Chicken."
As he spoke, he stood up and took the public chopsticks, walked to Xie Shutong, turned the round table, turned the Kung Pao Chicken in front of him, and gave her a chopstick.
The round table in the banquet hall was for twelve people, but Xie Shutong and Jing Gao were sitting opposite each other, so their positions were still a bit far away.
"Yeah." Xie Shutong held her chopsticks and lowered her head to eat this famous dish. Logically speaking, this dish is the most famous among the Sichuan cuisine series. But in fact, this dish is also eaten in Beijing. She has liked this dish since she was a child.
Eat slowly, the taste is spicy and rich, and the meat is smooth and crispy. The spiciness of the pepper and the sweetness of the peanuts blend together, adding a layered texture to the dish.
The chef at Blue Lake Club is very good.
"How does it taste?" In the time it took Xie Shutong to take a bite of the food, Jing Gao had already eaten a few mouthfuls of rice with the delicious white meat soup, white meat, and pickled vegetables in the casserole. He was really a little hungry.
"It's quite delicious." Xie Shutong gave a positive answer and said softly: "It's better than my mother's."
Jing Gao stood up again, walked to the bright and tall girl, and put a piece of roast duck on her plate with chopsticks. "You want to try this dish again and see if it's authentic?"
Xie Shutong looked at Jing Gao and sat back down. After all, he couldn't hold it back. He took his chopsticks and said, "Brother Jing, do you want me to sit next to you? You are going back and forth like this, which is very troublesome for both of us."
She has a very cheerful personality.
Jing Gao laughed and said, "Then sit over here. I didn't see you angry just now, so I didn't have the nerve to ask you to do it."
Xie Shutong rolled his eyes and complained: "Brother Jing, I was worried that you would be angry with me, so I didn't dare to sit next to you!" He took the bowl and chopsticks and sat next to Jing Gao. He ate the golden roast duck in small bites and looked at it.
He used serving chopsticks to put the mutton slices in the copper pot to her plate. Instead, he didn't rush to eat by himself, and his heart was gentle. He was such a gentle and considerate man.
"Brother Jing, how do you know I like these dishes?"
This table of carefully prepared Beijing cuisine was very rich, including fried liver tips, sweet-scented osmanthus meat, cabbage and pork dumplings and other dishes, but Brother Jing gave her all the dishes she liked.
Listening to Shutong's voice, he couldn't help but feel a little soft. Jing Gao secretly felt ashamed. He was asking Shutong's good friend Xiao Xueyan! But he definitely couldn't tell the truth in this meeting. But he couldn't tell lies either. This is
Comparison tests the art of language.
"Shu Tong, some things don't need to be remembered deliberately. We have known each other for three years."
Xie Shutong pursed her lips and smiled, lowered her head to take a sip of sour plum soup. She sat with a pair of straight long legs crossed over each other, and her white leather shoes clicked briskly under the table, showing her mood at the moment.
